Sanjay Hinduja Tops 2026 Rich List With £38bn

sanjay hinduja and the Hinduja family finished Friday at the top of the 2026 Sunday Times Rich List with an estimated £38bn. The list covers the 350 richest people in the UK. That puts the Hinduja family ahead of every other named entrant in the ranking.

Hinduja Group at the top

£38bn was the estimate attached to Sanjay and Dheeraj Hinduja and the Hinduja family in the 2026 ranking. The figure places the family at the top of a list published by the Sunday Times on Friday, with the Hinduja Group described as the family’s multi-national conglomerate.

350 is the number of UK rich-list entrants named this year, and the Hinduja family sits above all of them. For readers tracking ownership and concentration of wealth, that makes the family’s position the central result from the new list rather than just another entry near the top.

Sanjay and Dheeraj Hinduja

Sanjay Hinduja and Dheeraj Hinduja were named together with the Hinduja family in the top spot. The listing ties the result to the family name rather than to one individual, which matters because the estimate is attached to the wider family and its holdings, not a single balance sheet line.

That structure leaves the rank unchanged even as the list measures individuals and families across the UK. The practical takeaway for anyone following the UK wealth table is simple: the Hinduja family begins 2026 in first place, with £38bn setting the benchmark other entries have to beat.
